Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- TEXAN, FATHER OF 34 BURIES FIFTH WIFE (Preston News Service) DALLAS, TEXAS, Dec. 11-11th Plummer, age 106 years, father of 34 children, rail-splitter with Abraham Lincoln, maker of medicine and now alone in his vine-shaded cottage here since the death of his fifth wife, is considered the oldest resident in Dallas. According to Mr. Plummer, his father, now aged 133 years, is living in Georgetown, District of Columbia. Plummer said he last heard from father in October. He said, his mother lived to be 73 years of age, and that she bore twenty-nine children, he being one of them. Rocking away slowly in his old-fashioned cane, bottom rocker, Plummer said that two of his brothers, James and Thomas, went to Africa in one of the ships that carried slaves, soon after the close of the Civil War. He said both of them are in their nineties, and are still living. Plummer has survived all of his wives, his fifth one having died 17 years ago in Dallas, at the age of 53. Of his 34 children, 22 are living; the oldest being Nicholas Plummer, aged 84 and residing in Los Angeles, Calif. It seems almost indescribable, but Flummer tells of the remarkable development he has seen take place in Dallas, since he settled here years ago. He tells a vivid story of his trip West in a covered wagon and the long time which it took him to reach Dallas, from the East. He told of many encounters with the Indians on his way West. When asked how he accounts for his long life and good health he said, "Well, I take a good drink of whiskey each morning, but I never get drunk, I never work too hard. In fact I never overdo anything. People cut their lives short by overdoing things. They rush here and there. They eat too much, they drink too much, some work too much, but few do that. They just live too fast."

HENRY ELEY, AGED 106 YEARS IS DROWNED IN CREEK (Franson News Service) SUFFOLK, VA., Dec. 22—Henry Eley, said to be aged 106, years, perhaps the oldest resident of Nanternond county, and one of the best known men in the Chuckatuck community, was accidentally drowned, Wednesday morning in the Chuckatuck Creek. Mr. Eley was walking the banks of the creek and is supposed to have slipped in. He was born in 1820 and his age is verified by some of the leading people of the section where ancestors told them of Henry Eley in "days gone by." He had lived to see practically every great modern improvement come into use. Frequently he would entertain groups of people at the corner store by telling of that times when he was a boy and the people cooked in fire places, rode in coaches and worked by candle light. He told of corduroy roads and of when the now fertile fields were heavily wooded forests; and how wild animals would kill the stock. 29 WERE LYNCHED DURING PAST YEAR There were 29 persons lynched in 1926. This is 13 more than the number 16 for 1925, 13 more than the number 16 for 1924, 4 less than the number 33 for 1923, and 28 less than the number 57 for 1922.

Two of the persons lynched were women. there were 33 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Four of those were in northern state and 29 in southern states. In 27 of the cases the prisoners were removed on the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 6 other instances, armed force was urged to repel the would-be lynchers. In 4 instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were indicted. Of the 34 persons thus before the courts, 9 were sentenced to the penitentiary; 8 for terms ranging from 4 to 20 years, and 1 for life.

[Image of a man with a hand on his forehead, looking upwards.] A SINGER WITH GENUINE POWER In these days of changing scenes, when it requires the best in a race to prove its worth and make a place for the on-coming generation, it is a pleasure for us to place before the public in Wichita, Kansas at the High School Auditorium, Jan. 24, 1927, one of the best artists the Negro Race has and who has charmed the world with his genuine power to render the Negro Spirituals with a cry from the depth of his soul, that will touch the souls of of any human. This is an opportunity time for this great artist when prejudice and radicalism, seemingly are on their way to the throne; in spite of the fact that Roland Hayes proved that the Negro, had the talents of God and was uhing them for the glorifying of God and satisfaction the Wichita audience as well as audiences throughout the world; in spite of the fact that the pageant was one of the finest demonstrations of the Negro's worth to co-operate, develop and entertain Wichita audience, and in spite of the fact that Dr. Mordecai Johnson brought a message to the Wichita minds and souls that should convince the devil himself; but the Heavenly, Father knows the great spirit in both races in Wichita, desires to save it from a big catastrophe, that will mar the good name of this great city forever; thus He has directed in his course of divine purposes that PALROBESON come, and with one of the mellowest and softest baritone voices, sing the love and hope of a struggling people in the limelight of fame that they might receive ty people. He will convince Wichita protection from a strong and might that his people only need a chance. PAUL ROBESON is much different from most artists. he is one that has succeeded in everything that he has tried, but gave them all, up because the public demanded entertainment from his wonderful voice. The following will give you a little light on his past record:— PAUL ROBESON has been for some years, a prominent figure in American life, done has been of public interest, Born in Princeton. Now, he is graduate of Rutgers College and of Columbia University Law School. During his undergraduate days he was selected by the late Walter Camp as a member of his All-American Football Team. Those who are interested in sport will remember Mr. Robeson's remarkable, indomitable ability on the football field. Yet when he graduated from Rutgers he had been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, the great scholastic fraternity, and to the honorary society of Cap and Skull. Then in New York he attracted attention in a new field, by his acting in Eugene O'Neill's play, "The Emperor Jones." Mr. Robeson went to London in the Fall of 1925 and played "The Emperor Jones," during the Eugene O'Neill season. His acting created one of the greatest sensations the London stage has known. We know you will be pleased to heat Mr. Robeson, but when we tell you that his, accompanist, Mr. Lawrence Brown, has a record equal to his for his accomplishment from a hard student in America and abroad, you will know that the entertainment must be the best. We shall also give to you a little history of his past record: Lawrence Brown, composer and arranger of Negro music, is also a unique personality. He has studied extensively both in America and Europe, his most important musical training having been received in Boston, and in London. His most significant research has been done in the South. A native of Florida, he appeared in concert not only in New York City, but in other parts of the United States. During the five years he has lived in England, (Gatland on fourth page) (Cntinued on fourth page) JAS, FRIDAY, Jan. 7, 1927.

Life.” a antes Texts John 13:31-55, Our lesson today follows the dis. course after the traitors’ departure —“Judas Went Out.” The chapter | alsa mentions Peter's confidence and the predicted fall, | The departure of the traitor In dcates the approach of the Mast dcath which was the way of ou eternal hfe, truly, “Christ is the way to eternal life. ‘Lhe Book of John was written by John, the evangelist, between A, D. 78 and 100. 3t deals with the essence of Christ, the heart of the Gospel, Christ is not only the way to eternal hfe, He fs the Way, He is * 0 atutay oo the Life. John 14.6, Judas had left the group, no lon- gir able to conceal his conception, ‘Ite truth will discover itself, The going out of this would-be friend of Jesus marks a decisive tur in the life of the early church, as well as the life of Judas. It was night, night indeed to him, the darkest night, not a single star of hope to tight the night in which one goes from Catia wus night. However, the highest exhibitio: of the devil's opposition to Cx gives the best opportunity for the eaaltation of Christ, Christ was glo. rifed and God was glorified in Him, when the light of truth revealed the blackness of Judas’ heart. The tender and gentle address, “diitle children” suggests the Fath- er’s love and the child’s simple tas and dependence, soon Christ is to depart, the dsciples wul be secking Him, for what He wrought, for what He tauget and for what He was. His absence necessary to their future happiness, “I go away,” a new commandment he leaves, “Love one another.” Love is of God for God is love. If we love Him truly, we love all that is begotten of Him, We love His image wherever found, Man is His image. Because a woman loves her child, she hikes the picture and loves the life it represents, When a man loves God he loves His image, which is the hfe of God in Man. To be a Christian, theres fore, is to love as no one else can love, Love is the Christian’s badge and pasword, The only way to eternal life js the way of love. Christ is love raised to the highest power. Suggestions:—Seek the way of eternal Hfe that Christ gives, see gins in the life that now is. When we go away from Christ, the door of hope is closed. The glory of Ci rist seems to shine brightest in the darkest place, The greatest foe of the church is the devil’s tool in the church. “Be sure your sin will find you out,” Some day de- ce, tion will be too poor to clothe itself in the garb of truth, Since Christ Is the way to eternal life, all should wulk with Hum''to the gate of everlasting peace. | Questions:—Do you have Hm, with you have Him and do you ofer fim to others? That we may be of greater service his year to those who desire to cnow Him better, is your servant's Nicodemus News. For the past six weeks we have been silent in our wonderful paper, but we have been working faithfully in the Master's Cause. Our Pastor finished his vacation and returned on the 3rd Sunday in October, full of new zeal and vigor, reporting a well spent vacation in the Sunny South-land with relatives and fricnds; taking hold of the work with double determination, We were then confronted with the November Board which was almost at hand, but under God and our leader, we came out more than conquer; and Board members reported a happy stay here and went home praying God's bless. ings upon us.

SAYS WHITE MAN GAVE NEGROES FOLK-THOUGHT Professor Asserta Only Few of Voodoo Beliefs Are African in Source CLEVELAND, O.-The greater mass of the Southern Negro's superstitions and folk-thought are attributable to the white man and not to Africa, says Dr. N. N. Puckett, Professor of sociology, at Western Reserve University. Only the picturesque voodoo beliefs and a few general folk-tales are African in source, he declares in a book written after 21 years spent in Mississippi. "White and black, the fear-inspiring 'voodoo-man' still practices his strange quasi-religious 'healing' rites in the Southland," writes Dr. Puckett "but voodooism as a cult, termed by many as devil worship, is a thing of the past in America. "Negro race pride is forcing mourn or less illiterate, Negroes to give up, or at least to subdue and refuse to pass on, the old beliefs for fear of ridicule from the more developed members of her race. "Line by line, increasing knowledge and pride of race are forever erasing these records of folk-throughout." Dr. Puckett made a special study of voodooism and for some time became a voodoo doctor in New Orleans as one means of obtaining data for his book. Research was made into all published sources of African and American Negro lore. He tells of some of the old "recipes" of a voodoo believing clan.

He has also appeared in concert in Paris with great success. He is one of the foremost Negro musicians and an earnest student of the music of his people. Many of the songs which Mr. Robeson sings are Mr. Brown's arrangements of melodies which he himself has gathered. Even as recently as 1925 Mr. Brown has been in the South in quest of new material. There is an exciting rhythm, a beautiful simplicity, a charm and authenticity in Mr. Brown's arrangements not found in many existing versions of spirituals and secular music. It is almost a miracle when a city is able to get an engagement from a noted artist like this; and we advise that you get your tickets early and prove to the Book Lovers Club, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and the Council of Churches that you appreciate their wonderful care of the community 'to seek' to bring the best to edify it. It is now believed that you will enjoy this concert better than you did Roland Hayes, as his program will better suit the masses. People out of town should send in at once to the Council of Churches office, Corner First and Emporia Sts., Wichita, Kansas. Tickets now on sale at all the places and representatives from each agency promoting his coming. St. Mark M. E.
